Ditto that. Ours are in great shape after two years of abuse from 2 kids and 2 dogs.

it's been 2 years and no problems... looks good and easy to clean up... a must have if you have kids or go to the beach often....

our have also held up fine. Though the cover for the arm rest still doesn't fit right or stay on well. The 3rd row covers saved our seats from our in-car-oil spill (grrrrr). Took the off the 3rd row seats, when we found the oil had gotten on them. But didn't make it through to the seats. Tossed them in the washer on delicate and the oil came out, now just need to reinstall them.

Seat covers.. isn't it like wrapping the computer keyboard in Saran plastic to prevent dirt from getting into? While it keeps the seats clean, you won't really get to enjoy the original seat texture and look (seat cover is blocking the view). . My wife decided we wont use seat covers. We do have a blanket under those seat storage for use in times of 'dirty-wet-feet-children' trips.

no not really. The factory seat covers have the same look as the original seats, and I think they have a better texture. And the seat covers I installed have already saved my rear seats. No need to carry extra blankets around taking up the storage space either. (I didn't know I was going to need them, so I had no chance to cover the rear seats with a blanket)
Different strokes for different folks, but if I had to do it again, I'd buy the seat covers when I bought the 5 and not some months afterwards.
